A paleta is a Mexican dessert. Ice cream or sorbet and fruit on stick, perfect for eating on, well, any Texas day because ice cream is good any time.

M decided to visit her local Nevaria (ice cream shop) and they helped to pair paletas with her books. Here are the results.

A Dashie discovery meets Pina Colada. 

Daisy of Daisy’s Nevaria picked the white and yellow dessert because the colors match the font on the front cover. M picked it because local town gossip, Piper, invites our amateur sleuth, Leslie, and her best friend, Sophia, over for pool drinks so she can get in on the investigation. 

A Pom Pom Premise meets kiwi

Daisy picked kiwi because the green of the paleta matches the money and grass on the cover. M picked kiwi because it’s a sweet and tart fruit that takes a little adjusting to for your tastebuds. Kind of how Tiffany Williams tartness finally wins over Leslie in this book.

A Poodle Perplexity meets chocolate covered strawberry

M asked Daisy if she had any wedding cake flavors to go with the books. Daisy did not but she did have cheesecake. M decided that wasn’t enough. There needed to be fancy and sprinkles and lo and behold, there it was, a chocolate covered delight just waiting to be bought. (Which M did and ten more paletas thank you very much).

Which paleta sounds the most appetizing to you? What flavor do you think you’d pick to go with A Corgi Conundrum?
